“The E175 allows us to provide an excellent and reliable service to American Airlines and the thousands of guests we serve everyday”.
Adding to this was Martyn Holmes, the Chief Commercial Officer of Embraer Commercial Aviation:
“This new order demonstrates once more the importance of the E175 to connectivity across the United States, and is another sign that the challenges the market has been facing are improving”.
“The E175 is the backbone of the US regional network, with over 620 aircraft sold, and 86% market share since 2013. We thank American Airlines and Envoy for their long partnership with Embraer.”
